OFFIOEES OF OOLOEED TEOOPS. 

The edition of eight tliousand of the Prospectus of the 
Free Military School for Applicants for Command of Colored 
Troops, established by the Philadelphia Supervisory Com- 
mittee for Eecruiting Colored Kegiments, issued 28th 
December last, having been exhausted, and the interest 
felt in the subject being unabated, a second edition has 
become a necessity. 

When the Government adopted the policy of organizing 
colored troops, it constituted a Board of Examiners, whose 
duty it is to examine all persons, whatever their rank, who 
make application for commissions in that branch of the 
public service. Major-Geneeal SILAS CASEY is the 
permanent President of the Board. The other members 
of the Board, consisting of two Colonels, one Lieutenant- 
Colonel, one Surgeon, and one Lieutenant, who is ex officio 
the Kecorder, are changed from time to time, according to 
the exigencies of the public service, but the President being 
permanent, the utmost regularity and uniformity of exami- 
nation and decision are secured. 

Up to December 26th, one thousand and fifty-one appli- 
cants had been examined; of these, five hundred and 
sixty were passed, and four hundred and ninety-one were 
rejected. 

The applicants are first examined in Infantry Tactics, 
Army Eegulations, and in regard to their general informa- 
tion. They are then turned over to the Surgeon for physical 
examination. If found capable, they are recommended to 
the "War Department, to be appointed to such positions as 
they have respectively been adjudged competent to fill. 
Every candidate stands upon his merits — ^the most obscure 
corporal or private stands an equal chance with the most 



favored and influential citizen. Ko recommendations; how- 
ever Hgli; are regarded as any compensation for lack of 
qualifications; and while the best testimonials that can be 
offered are the evidence of faithful and competent military 
service in the field; it is not to be understood that actual 
experience in the service is an indispensable pre-requisite. 
A large number of the successful applicants have had no 
such experience, having but recently left the school, the 
college; the desk; farm or workshop; and by a few weeks' 
diligent stu.dy of the elementary bookS; fitted themselves 
for command; as Lieutenants or CaptainS; and in some in- 
stances as Majors and Lieutenant- Colonels. 



THE QUALIFICATIONS EEQUIEED. 

First; the applicant must be physically sound, in order 
that he may endure the required service; and not neces- 
sarily fail in the discharge of the duties of his position; and 
soon become a pensioner upon the bounty of the Govern- 
ment, without the possibility of equivalent service. 

If a Lieutenant, he should understand and be able to 
explain the elementary principles laid down in Casey's In- 
fantry Tactics, as found in the school of the Soldier, Com- 
pany and Battalion. He should comprehend the duties of 
sentinels; guardS; &c., as contained in the Army Regula- 
tions. He should know all about Muster and Pay Rolls, 
Descriptive Lists, and how to keep Company books. 
And withal, should have at least such education as can 
usually be obtained at a common school. The range of 
study for this grade is exceedingly moderate, and the 
position is attainable by any bright young man having a 
fair common school education. 

If a Captain, l[iQ Tcm^i possess all the qualifications pre- 
scribed for a Lieutenant, but must be more thoroughly 



^(^e 



posted, and slioiild be proficient in Battalion movements; 
and have a better general education. 

A Field Officer is examined as closely in regard to ele- 
mentary principles, as a Captain or Lieutenant, and is set 
down for the position of ^ Major, Lieut. Colonel, or Colonel, 
according as he shall show himself additionally qualified 
for the superior position desired. A field ofiicer should, 
in addition to his own peculiar duties, understand the 
duties of line of&cers, and be able to instruct them/ if 
deficient. 

The Colonel of a Regiment should be a gentleman of very 
superior qualifications. He should be capable of giving 
exact instructions in the entire system of Infantry Tactics, 
as authorized by the War Department, known as Casey's 
Tactics, in three volumes. He should be master of the 
entire subject of Army Regulations, so far as the same 
relate to the duties and business of a regiment, and should 
withal be a man of rare spirit, industry, and executive 
ability. He should be able to detect, instantly, the errors 
of all ofiicers under him ; should be able to impart instruc- 
tion to all, and to decide correctly on the instant, all ques- 
tions referred to him. 

No talents, no zeal, no sympathy for the colored race, 
unless attended with military knowledge, and power to 
command men in battle, can avail ; and no amount of pre- 
tence or number of testimonials of influential friends will 
answer the purpose ; the applicant must give reasonable 
evidence of his ability to command. If pretence without 
merit, or zeal without knowledge, or mere recommendations 
of personal and political friends would be suf6.cient evidence 
of fitness to command, an examination would be an idle 
and useless ceremony. It is the obvious duty of the Board 
of Examiners to select the best ofS.cers possible from those 
who come before it.

THE UEGENT lEED OF OFFIOEES. 

lN"ow, that it has become the fixed policy of the Govern- 
ment to use Colored Troops to a large extent, its efforts to 
organize regiments are seriously hampered by the want of 
competent officers to train and command them. Up to 
26th December last, abont forty -sGYen per cent, of the appli- 
cants for command have been rejected for lack of knowl- 
edge. Of these three hundred and seventy-two, (372) were 
officers, privates, or non-commissioned officers from the 
army, and most of this particular class, and very many others 
from civil life, would have passed the Board and obtained 
commissions, if they had, under an efficient teacher, de- 
voted a few weeks to the study of the principles and details 
laid down in the books on Tactics and Army Eegulations. 

The rejection of so large a proportion of the applicants, 
particularly of so many earnest and brave soldiers who 
have stood the shock of battle, has doubtless deterred num- 
bers from offering themselves for examination, and it is 
feared that a general but unjust impression has been made, 
both in the army and in the public mind, that the examina- 
tion by the Board is too severe, and that few, but those 
who have enjoyed a collegiate education, or have actually 
commanded troops in the field with credit, can pass the 
Board. 

ISTothing could be further from the fact. Whilst the 
Board properly insists that the applicant must show true 
knowledge of the principles of tactics and capacity to com.- 
raand men, and take good care of them, and whilst it inflexibly 
rejects all who fall short in these essentials, the Board de- 
plores the stern necessity which compels it to reject good 
men, particularly soldiers whose deficiencies might be over- 
come by a few weeks careful preparation. With the 
knowledge of these facts, and in order to meet the increased 
demands for officers to command Colored Troops, The 
Philadelphia Supervisory Committee for Kecruiting Colored 
Regiments, at the suggestion of the Board of Examiners at 



^(^/ 



Washington, has established a Free School for Military 
Tactics, in its Bnilcling, No, 1210 Chestnut street. The 
Committee has secured the services of well recommended 
and experienced. oiEcerS; officers and professors competent 
to faithfully instruct applicants in Infantry Tactics, Army 
Eegulations, Mathematics, and thoroughly prepare them 
for successful examination. The School is amply sup- 
plied with books and everj^thing necessary to its com- 
plete organization. The Committee invites young men in 
civil Jife, loho are physically sound, and especially privates 
and non-commissioned officers in service, who may aspire 
to command colored soldiers, to avail themselves of the 
facilities which this free military school oJB^ers. 

Camp William Penn, the largest camp existing for the 
organization and disciplining of Colored Troops, is in the 
immediate vicinity of the city, of easy access at low rates 
of fi^];e. Arrangements have been made with Colonel 
Wagner, Post Commander, by which Students of this 
School, upon the recommendation of the Preceptor, will be 
allowed to sojourn temporarily at the camp and exercise 
the functions of officers, in assisting to drill and train the 
Regiments that may be organizing there. 

The superior comforts and cheapness of living, remarka- 
ble in Philadelphia, offer special attraction to all who may 
seek the advantages of the School, and especially to those of 
moderate means. Good board can be had at from $3 50 to 
$5 per week. 

The Committee trusts that its efforts, by means of a Mili- 
tary School, to provide what the country so urgently needs 
at the present time — namely, applicants competent to be 
officers in the Colored Eegiments — will be handsom.ely re- 
sponded to by the spirited young men of the country — ^by 
those in the army, as well as those in civil life, and that it 
may be able to speedily furnish the Board of Examiners a 
sufficient number of applicants well-grounded in the knowl- 
edge of tactics, and otherwise fitted to command troops, 
who may pass examination and thus largely relieve the 



8 

"War Department from tTie great pressure now existing for 
officers to organize and train the hosts of colored men now 
seeking to enter the service of their country. 

The foregoing prospectus of the Free Military School, 
was published December 26th, 1863, on which day the 
school was opened with two students (both of whom are 
now Captains in command of colored troops), under John 
H. Taggart, late Colonel of 12th P. E. Y. C, and up to 
the present time the applications for admission have been 
sixteen hundred and ninety-one — much the larger portions 
of which have been from soldiers in the hospitals, on fur- 
lough^ or in the field ; forty-six of these applicants have 
been rejected for the self-evident want of education on the 
part of the applicants ; eight hundred and two of the 
applicants are defective, not being accompanied with testi- 
monials of good character, and otherwise irregular, and 
have been referred back to the applicants for correction ; 
the remainder, viz., eight hundred and forty-three, have 
been passed on affirmatively. 

Of the latter class, four hundred and twenty-two are 
now, or have been on the rolls, the rest are on their way to 
the school from the difterent sections of the country in 
which they reside, or, they are soldiers in the army before 
the enemy and are waiting at the present time for furloughs. 

The Committee has persistently urged the War Depart- 
ment to grant furloughs for a brief period, to select num- 
bers of intelligent, educated and well recommended 
soldiers now in the field, in order that they might partake 
of the advantages of the school. The Department, after a 
thorough consideration of the subject, has concluded to 
allow such facilities to this class, and has issued the fol- 
lowing order : 



J^t^ 



-General Okdeks, ) "^^^^ Department, 

^ Adjutant Gen.'s Office, 
^^- 12o." ) M^ashington, March 29, 1864.'' 

" Furloughs, not to exceed thirty days in each case, to 
the non-commissioned officers and privates of the army 
who may desire to enter the Free Military School at Phila- 
delphia, may be granted by the Commanders of Armies and 
Departments, when the character, conduct and capacity of 
the applicants are such as to warrant their immediate and 
superior commanders in recommending them for commis- 
sioned appointments in the regiments of colored troops. 

" By order of the Secretary of War. 

E. D. TOWNSEND, 
Assistant Adjutant General^ 

Official : 

The rapid influx of students, from the hospitals, the 
army, and from almost every section of the country, vary- 
ing from eighteen to forty-eight years of age, and from 
nearly every profession, trade and calling, has been highly 
gratifying to the Committee. Increased accommodations 
and additional preceptors in the different branches of study 
were promptly provided to meet the large increase of the 
sc*hool. 

By table No. 4, it will be seen that many of the students 
have enjoyed liberal education, and it is worthy of note 
that some of them are the sons or relatives of distinguished 
men ; it also shows the number that have entered the 
school, the numbers dropped, withdrawn, examined by the 
board at Washington, and now remaining in the school, 
and the States from whence they come. Table IsTo. 3, or 
the KoLL OF Honor, shows the names of the students who 
have passed the board, their ages, places of birth, education, 
rank when entering the school, and the rank for which they 
have been recommended. 

The average daily attendance at the school, by the con- 
solidated morning report, is one hundred and ninety-four. 



10 

Strict military government is enforced, and the School is 
also formed as a battalion of four companies under com- 
mand of students appointed by the Chief Preceptor to act 
as of&cers, and twice each day is exercised in the school of 
the company and the school of the battalion, in an excel- 
lent parade ground a short distance from head-quarters. 

The following is the present organization of the School :

It has been the aim of the Committee from the first to 
make the School eminently national in its character, and it 
is with pleasure that the Committee refers to the various 
tables appended, showing the nativity of the applicants for 
admission, of the students in the School, and of those who 
have graduated, in proof that it has been able to accomplish 
its design. . It is no less gratifying to be able to refer to the 
subjoined letters from the Hon. Secretary of War and 
Major-General Silas Casey commending the School. 

War Department, 
Washington City, March 21, 1864. 

Thomas Webster, Esq., Chairman, 

1210 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, 
Sir : — The project of establishing a free Military School 
for the education of candidates for the position of commis- 
sioned officers in the Colored Troops, receives the cordial 
approval of this Department. Sufficient success has already 
attended the workings of the institution to afford the pro- 
mise of much usefulness hereafter in sending into the service 
a class of instructed and efficient officers. 
Yery respectfully. 

Your obedient servant, 

EDWIN M. STANTON, 

Secretary of War. 

Washington, D. C, March 7th, 1864. 

Dear Sir : — ^Yours of the 4th instant is received, and I 
have directed the Secretary of the Board to attend to your 
request. 

It gives me great pleasure to learn that your School is 
prospering, and I am also pleased to inform you that the 
Board of which. I am President have not as yet rejected 
one of your candidates. I am gratified to see that the 
necessity of procuring competent officers for the armies of 
the Eepublic is beginning to be better appreciated by the 
public. 



12 

I trust I shall never have occasion to regret my agency 
in suggesting the formation of your School, and I am sure 
the country owes your Committee much for the energy and 
judgment with which it has carried it out. The liberality 
which opens its doors to the young men of all the States is 
noblC; and does honor to those citizens of Philadelphia from 
whom its support is principally derived. 
Truly yours, 

SILAS CASEY, 

Major- General. 
To Thomas "Webstek, Esq., Chairman, 

1210 Chestnut Street, Philadel;phia, 

Beside endeavoring to supply the government with com- 
petent candidates for the command of Colored Troops, the 
Committee has resolved to extend the privileges of the 
School to all who may be about to go before the Board of 
Examiners for the Veteran Eeserve Corps (late the Invalid 
Corps), and it waits only for further increased accommoda- 
tions before publicly inviting all oflS.cers, non-commissioned 
ofS.cers, and privates seeking command in that branch of 
service, to enter the School. This determination, and the 
immediate and very large increase in the number of stu- 
dents which may be expected to follow the diffusion of 
General Orders No. 125, in the army, make it imperative 
that the accommodations and facilities of the School should 
be promptly doubled or trebled. JSTo time will be lost in 
securing them. 

A short time since it was found, on inspection, that of 
over three thousand colored troops — chiefly the late slaves 
of rebels, enlisted in Maryland — not one could " read, write 
and cipher" well enough to correctly discharge some of the 
duties of non-commissioned ofS.cers. At the suggestion of 
the chief mustering and recruiting officer for Colored 
Troops for that State, Col. S. M. Bowman, of 84th P. Y., 
and late a member of the board for examining applicants 
for command of Colored Troops, the Committee invited 



.S^if 



13 



active, intelligent, educated young men of color in Mary- 
land, to enlist, with the view of becoming non-commissioned 
officers in regiments to be raised in that State, promising 
to them military teaching and training at this School. 
Twenty-one spirited young men of color have responded 
to the invitation, and have been mustered in and sent 
hither for that purpose. The Preceptors and the more ad- 
vanced Students have volunteered to teach these colored 
patriots, and an auxiliary School has been commenced in 
the Head Quarters for the purpose of teaching and training- 
colored soldiers for the posts of non-commissioned officers. 
This Committee, formed to encourage and supervise the 
recruiting of Colored Troops, while actively continuing its 
efforts in that direction, will steadily strive to furnish these 
troops with humane, educated and skilled officers, and in 
every other way do its utmost to assist the government to 
subdue the Eebellion and exterminate Slavery.

Directions to Applicants for Admission 

TO THE 

FREE MILITARY SCHOOL 

ESTABLISHED BY 

THE PHILADELPHIA SUPEEVISOET COMMITTEE 

FOB EECKUITIJSTG COLOEED TROOPS. 



I. Eacli applicant must apply to the Committee for 
admission bv letter, wholly composed and written by him- 
self, stating his residence, age, occupation and attainments. 
If he is in the army, he must state how long he has been in 
military service, and the character of such service ; and if 
he has been in battle, state when and where. If he has 
been in the army, and is now mustered out, he must state 
the exact reason for being out of the service. 

This letter of application must be accompanied by some 
written testimonial of the applicant's good character. If 
he is in the army, his good character, his fitness for com- 
mand, and his military record, should be endorsed on his 
application by his superior ofS.cer in his own command, 
and this will be a sufS.cient guarantee of good character. 

If he is a civilian, he must have a certificate of good 
character from some respectable citizen of his neighbor- 
hood, who must certify on his personal knowledge of the 
applicant. 

II. A good common school education is essential to 
admission. The only exception to this rule will be in 
favor of such as can show a fine military record in the 
field — a record that shall indicate true military genius. 

The following need not apply, viz. : Sucli as are intern- 
jjerate ; such as seek the service for lack of a better business ; 
such as have been, while in the military service, frequently 



X^6' 



15 



sick at the hospital ; and such as are proved to he ill whenever 
there is a hard march on hand, or a battle in prospect. 

III, Applicants having a superior general education are 
informed that the Board at Washington, after examining 
them on tactics, will question them in the various branches 
of knowledge they have studied, with the view of ascer- 
taining the extent of their capacity to acquire and retain 
knowledge, and with a view of recommending them for the 
highest rank that their proficiency in tactics will justify. 

IV. As soon as the students, in the judgment of the Chief 
Preceptor, are likely to pass a favorable examination, appli- 
cation will be made for permission for them to appear before 
the Board, and whilst waiting for such permission, students 
will be sent to Camp William Penn, to temporarily exer- 
cise the functions of officers of Colored Troops. 

Y. The Committee will do all in its power to secure an 
early examination by the Board at Washington, of such 
students as the Chief Preceptor shall recommend, and in 
every other way exert itself to save the students their time 
and expenses. 

VI. Persons having, in their own judgment, such profi- 
ciency in tactics, army regulations, and general education, 
as will enable them to pass a favorable examination, may, 
if they desire it, have a preliminary examination by the 
Chief Preceptor, and if his opinion is favorable, and they 
have certificates of general good character, they will be im- 
mediately recommended for examinations for command, or 
if the Preceptor should not pass favorably on them, they 
may enter the School and acquire the requisite knowledge. 
The attention of privates and non-commissioned officers of the 
army is specially invited to this, 

VII. It should be distinctly understood, that the instruc- 
tion, use of books, maps, blocks, and opportunities of camp 



16 

experience, are all gratuitous. All personal expenses, in- 
cluding traveling hither, board, and transportation to and 
from Washington, by those who may be recommended, and 
all other expenses, must be defrayed by the. students them- 
selves. 

YIII. The following extract from a private letter from a 
member of the Board of Examiners, Washington, to the 
Chairman of the Supervisory Committee, is deemed worthy 
of being re-produced here, as being a terse view of the 
entire subject of officering Colored Troops — practical and 
eloquent. 

" A Eegiment of Colored Troops, when turned over to 
the command of its white officers, consists of a thousand or 
more of unlettered black men, often late slaves, dressed in 
the soldier's u.niform and armed like soldiers. They will 
be expected to do the soldier's duty, but as yet they are 
profoundly ignorant of that duty. To organize this mass, 
to provide for it, to instruct it, to drill it, to march it, to 
lead it into battle and make it fight, will require an aggre- 
gate of the various kinds of knowledge only possessed by 
superior white men. 

" These officers should be selected with the greatest care 
— officers who shall know how to instruct these unlettered 
men — officers who shall inspire their confidence, and hold 
them up to a high sense of duty, and make them feel that 
now, for the first time in the history of their race, they are 
called upon to vindicate, on the battle-field, their title to 
the honored name of soldier. Under such direction, black 
men will make excellent soldiers ; whereas if badly 
officered, they will be badly taught, badly cared for, badly 
led, and the whole experiment of putting colored troops in 
the field will prove a failure. 

"'Where can such be found?' I answer among the 
gallant, intelligent, and enterprizing young men of the 
country now in civil life ; and especially among the non- 
commissioned officers and privates of the army, many of 



^<^G 



17 



wHom have earned promotion bj gallant deeds, and who 
wonld be proud to command colored troops. Find them 
out ; cultivate them ; instruct them in your Military School,, 
and send them on for examination, and be assured the 
Board will not fail to recommend them for the positions 
they are best qualified to fill." 



EXTEACT FEOM GENERAL OEDERS. 

The following is taken from the Order of the War De- 
partment establishing the Board of Examination : 

"4. Each applicant shall be subjected to a fair, but 
rigorous examination, as to physical, mental and moral 
fitness to command troops. 

5. The Board shall specify for what grade of commis- 
sions the several applicants are fit ; and shall also classify 
and number them according to merit or proficiency. 

6. Appointments to each grade shall only be made from 
the candidates approved by the Board, and in the order of 
merit recommended by it. 

7. The Keport of the Board, if adverse, shall be conclu- 
sive ; and no person rejected by it, shall be re-examined." 



Persons desirous of entering the School, are invited 
to apply in writing, and submit written testimonials of good 
character, to either of the undersigned, at No. 1210 Chest- 
nut Street, agreeably to Direction ]^o. 1, page 14.

pended from all the privileges of the School, until he fur- 
nishes to the Post Adjutant a satisfactory explanation of 
the cause of such absence. All such explanations must be 
made by the Student to the Captain or commanding officer 
of his company, and by him to the Post Adjutant. Attend- 
ing one session daily will secure the Student his position 
in the School, but absence for three days in succession, 
or three days in any one week, will cause the name of such 
Student to be dropped from the roll of the School. 

All excuses for absence must be made in writing. Any 
student frequently absent, and furnishing unsatisfactory 
explanations as to the cause, will be considered as inatten- 
tive, and render himself liable to be dropped from the roll, 
if in the judgment of the Chief Preceptor, it shall be neces- 
sary to impose this punishment. 

DISCIPLINE. 

Y. Students are required, during the sessions, to give 
their undivided attention to the Chief Preceptor and Assist- 
ant Preceptors, while teaching, and all loud conversation, 
lounging attitudes, and other violations of good order and 
decorum are prohibited. Any student found guilty of vio- 
lating this rule, will render himself liable to be expelled 
from the School. 

The Preceptors and Assistant Preceptors will be held 
accountable for the regular and orderly conduct of their 
respective Classes or Divisions, while under their immediate 
instruction. 

Defacing books belonging to the School, or scribbling, or 
writing names in them, or cutting the blocks used for tac- 
tical demonstrations, will subject the offender to expulsion. 
Assistant Preceptors will be held accountable for any viola- 
tion of these rules in their Class Eooms, and will report to 
the Chief Preceptor the name of any Student offending. 

Smoking in the class-rooms, or about the building, is pro- 
hibited. 



21 

Obedience and subordination being essential to the pur- 
poses of the Free Military School, any Student who shall 
disobey a command of the Chief Preceptor, or of any 
Assistant Preceptor, or other Superior Officer, or behave 
himself in a refractory or disrespectful manner, shall be 
dismissed or otherwise less severely pimished, according to 
the nature and degree of his offence. 

Any Stu.dent who shall answer for another at any roll 
call, or who shall engage any other Student to answer for 
him, shall be dismissed from the School, or otherwise less 
severely punished. 

Any Student who shall be guilty of conduct unbecoming 
an officer and a gentleman, shall be dismissed from the 
School. 

Every Student shall pay to his superiors the compliments 
prescribed by the General Eegulations for the Army. (See 
Army Eegulations, article XXXIX, paragraphs 254:, 256 
and 257.) 

Any Student leaving his company while on the march 
from the School Building, or remain in the Class Eooms after 
answering to his name, to evade drilling with the Battalion, 
will be dismissed, or otherwise less severely punished. 

Any Student who may be in the School Building when 
the study hours cease, and the companies assemble for 
drill, will repair to his Company, answer to his name, and 
march with his company to the Parade Ground, and drill 
with it, although he may have been present at one drill 
the same day previously. Any violation or evasion of this 
rule will render the offender liable to be dismissed. 

No Student shall be excused from drill by the command- 
ing officer of his Company, who has no authority to grant 
such indulgence. Those desiring to be excused must make 
application personally to the Post Adjutant, stating the 
reasons therefor, and the Adjutant will report the same to 
the Chief Preceptor for his action. 



22

commands in the same if conferred on them, and this pledge 
is made on signing these rules.

capacity to become an officer, and that his further presence 
is not desirable.

necessity is urgent. Application for such leave will be
